Let's see your tin signs

[toyotadriver]

I love tin signs on the walls. I think the real ones are awesome but the reproduction ones are still fine too....and that's all I have anyway. I'd like to have some more and always looking for good ideas of what to look for.

I'll try to post pics of mine later.

Let's see what you have!

I'll post pics of mine later.

Here are a few that I already had in my phone. Just look past the junk
Not all are metal.

Nice bell system sign. Hadn’t seen that one.
There is a thread on bell system

 

[Miss the Pontiacs]

@southalabama Thanks. Been there done that. Exactly the reason I already had the pic in my phone.

Here's the one wall of my garage. I'll post more pics later.

 

[rzims]

I dont' have any classic originals, but I have a whole wall of beer tackers from breweries we've visited...

 

[Homebody]

Got a few. The original Goodwrench Quicklube would be my favorite. $30 flea market score.

This is an old one I found in a pile of junk when I was helping someone clean up a collapsed building.

Sweet - MMoline sign- (kinda rare tractors around here even moreso for signs) I dont have pics of mine (they are all new repros anyway-) But I wanted to mention mine came from HObby Lobby- pretty good prices and repros of alot of 1940-1960s automobilia/petroliana- Never cared much for wife stores- until i found the signs there- Now I don't mind if she goes- i just go see what I can find too-

 

[Mr. Wonderful]

My humble attempt to make something that looked like it came from a shop the same era as my vise. It actually looks a bit more authentic now after a couple years of use.

Don't feel bad. All mine have either come from ebay or Hobby Lobby. I like them and they are cheap. I'm always on the lookout for signs I'd like to have for my (small) collection. Some of mine are motivational...some are silly...and some are nostalgic.

I have a sign on the door to my stop that says "No stupid people beyond this point". I like it. It's a cheap sign from Hobby Lobby.

Here’s some of mine

 

[70Beee]

Nothing fancy but I like it.

A few signs ,

 

[rburke65]

Some from my shop

 

[jimj580]

I love this. I have many to hang but it gets in the way of my shelving.

 

[jeep63]

 

[05snopro440]

Very cool sign! I think I have the same air compressor too.

 

[Ohio Auto]

Here's one end of my shop.

 

[toyotadriver]

I like Cooper tires….so now I have to find one of those signs! Thanks for the idea!

 

[tez929rr]

No antiques, just modern reproductions. There used to be a Bear Alinement place with this sign up the street from where I grew up (and the Mrs remembered and surprised me). The Shiner Beer sign is a giant bottle cap that hangs by the pool table. I ended up reading about the Bear Alinement history and it’s pretty interesting.

 

[rayra]

Missus got it. I think she's mocking me.

[rzims]

its funny, I'm putting in a metal barn and when I was working on the layout, my wife kept asking which walls I'm going to put all my signs on?
My answer.....All of them

 

[ludakris04]

I have a few around my garage.
The only two things I know are legit are the Batteries sign and Quaker State clock, as those came off the wall of dealerships I worked at.

 

[MR2FC]

Not tin, not vintage, but I like it

 

[Cobragr]

Collected most of my porcelain signs on eBay. Be careful, it can be addicting!

 

[toyotadriver]

You're right....it is addicting.

 

[bbbarracuda]

Reddy’s got a rusty nose
That’s the biggest sign I have,

 

[Don R]

A friend made this one for me.

 

[firebirdparts]

i'm a big fan of the tongue-in-cheek advertisers in Pixar 'Cars'. I have a bunch of signs that I made. They only ever sold two tin signs, and I do have them:

Here are mine so far

 

[Beau Nugget]

I found this one out in a field in which I was working. It’s a little rough, but I like it. I’ve no idea how it got there. I’m sure it had been laying out there for quite a few years. It’s hanging in my shop now
